ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Previously on the podcast, we experienced ESPN struggling with their dramatization of the Dale Earnhardt story; today, we go in a completely different direction: 43.
In 43: The Petty Story (1972), we get a regional B-movie (if it even counts as that) where Richard Petty plays himself. While the King is not going to win any major awards for his acting skills, we do get to see the amazing Darren McGavin play the part of Lee Petty, who gives a performance worthy of a leg-lamp.
43 is not a documentary. It is not Days of Thunder. It is not even Steel Chariots. Instead, it is the origin story of the first-family of NASCAR. So buckle up, rewind the tape, and try not to notice when a car changes make and model mid-race.

The Herbie franchise took quite the turn in 2005, and we can't say it was for the better.... Join us as we turn our attention to Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005), where Disney puts a sentient and worn-out Volkswagon Beetle on a NASCAR track with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, all while asking race car …
Welcome back! Today we expose ourselves to 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story (2004), the ESPN film that tried to make the Intimidator fit inside a two-hour window and left shredded pieces of rubber all the way down the backstretch (that's a tire reference for NASCAR-newbies).
